Mid-Autumn Day in China, which routinely is the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar, falls on Sept 8 this year. A significant part of the festival is to hold outdoor reunions among friends and relatives to eat mooncakes and watch the moon, a symbol of harmony and unity.

Tianzhu Mountain in Wudang, at a height of 1,612 meters, is the closest spot to the Moon in Shiyan city, Hubei province. It’s a good choice for people to climb to the Golden Summit atop Tianzhu Mountain by night, to watch the moonlight, as well as enjoy the quiet but amazing scenery of Wudang Mountains.
